Bug ID: 93131
Summary: Libraoffice Draw fails to read all the pages inside
OpenOffice Draw document
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: critical
Priority: medium
Component: Draw
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
This problem is very serious and confused me greatly.
I created an draw file consisting of a dozen or so pages.
They basically contain a few diagrams and texts.
Now, it was done an on a windows 7 (64-bit) PC and I think I used OpenOffice
Draw program.
Sorry for using THAT program, but that was available on THAT PC.
Then when I tried to open it on ANOTHER Windows 7 (64-bit) PC,
the LibreOffice DRAW was configured to open .odg file there.
When I opened the file, though, only the first couple of pages were shown and
no subsequent pages containing graphics, et al, were shown (!?)
I thought I had failed to copy the file to my Dropbox directory where it was
there, and actually travelled to my parent's home where I originally created
the graphics a few times, and still could not find the looked-for pages and
could not find it there also.
So I though I must have screwed up and deleted the file (sigh), and re-created
new graphics file.
But after this ordeal, I just happened to open this using the old file by
OpenOffice DRAW.
VOILA! All the missing pages are suddenly displayed!!!
Now, I can understand the UI difference and functionality difference between
the two office suites after the fork from the original OpenOffice in V3 days.
However, at least, I hope for the DATA COMPATIBILITY between the two suite.
Even if it fails to draw the pages correctly, or cannot open and draw
completely, LibreOffice should at least tell the user that
"There is more data that is shown,
but LIbreOffice cannot render it due to technical difficulty
(or maybe a data incompatibility: USE OpenOffice to open the file first,
and export it in XXYYZ data format so that LibreOffice draw can edit it)"
or something like that.
I feel this is a SERIOUS MAJOR bug that ought to be fixed.
I am not sure if this problem is relate to the following bugs, but from the
description there, I don't think they are:
- Bug 42112 - WMF/EMF from particular DOC file not properly loaded and shapes
not visible (workaround : comment #14)
- Bug 31814 - EMF regression: failure of displaying ChemDraw objects
I can only make the file in question available after Sept 9th since I am going
to use the graphics (actually in the newly created file using Microsoft
PowerPoint, not the original file with this problem) in a conference/workshop,
but once it is done, the original file can be made available.
TIA for your attention.
